Velocity

This game has no Velocity yet. The scoring pass only ranks games that clear an audience floor and have enough history to measure acceleration over — everything below that line is collected but not scored, which is most of the catalogue.

7 days

Not enough of the ladder to compare.

Only ratings could be plotted, so there is no second counter to compare the timing against.

Lead and lag for Dark Notes, 7 daysLead and lag over 7 days, 2026-10-03 to 2026-10-09, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Not enough of the ladder to compare. Ratings: 15 throughout, no change at all.100%50%0%Oct 3Oct 9Ratings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 7 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below.

A blank change is not a zero: the scoring pass refuses a window whose nearest observation is too stale to compare, rather than differencing two points that are not seven days apart.
